WowWee FlyTech Skyhopper: More Mothra than a Star Wars Airspeeder

Digging around on the FCC site can uncover some truly weird things.Exhibit A this morning: WowWee's FlyTech Skyhopper (no, not that Skyhopper).The remote-controlled 'hybrid insect' toy has the same flapping wing design as company's FlyTech Dragonfly, which we last saw waging war with cats and being snatched by Hawks.The manual claims you'll be able to "back out of corners, jump overobstacles, and make a running takeoff from the smallest spaces."
